The Drakkar had to go to the very last game of the season before confirming his official position in anticipation of the playoffs. Participating in a doubles program against the Saguenéens, the Vikings of the Ship managed to collect three out of four possible points and thus cement their sixth place overall in their conference. Once again inspired by the key saves of their goalkeeper Olivier Ciarlo, Jean-François Grégoire’s men (overall record of 30-32-4-2 and 66 points) are showing resilience and will start their next spring dance against the Wildcats of Moncton.
